Bright orange belly accents on this 2/5 oz (12 g) crankbait provide a stark visual contrast to the deep brown and black tones of the baby striper finish. This specific Bomber Model A, cataloged under product code 18768, is a "Screw Tail" variant, a sought-after early design where the rear treble hook is anchored by a screw eye rather than modern molded hardware. Measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm) in length, the floating body is equipped with a clear round lip designed to reach depths of 8 ft to 10 ft (2.4 - 3.0 m) when worked via casting or trolling for pike and zander. An internal rattle system provides a steady auditory presence beneath the surface. Regarding its 4/5 condition, the body displays honest wear with some visible paint loss on the flanks, revealing the lighter material beneath the dark topcoat. The hardware includes original bronze-finished treble hooks typical of vintage USA manufacturing.
